"I'm afraid it will take a long time, after all, the Central Plains Dynasty has never really controlled Fusang, and we have chosen the strategy of washing away the Fusang people, millions of fast-running Fusang people fled to the deep mountains and old forests in the early days, and our Ming Dynasty's encirclement and suppression was not smooth."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"No, no, no, you misunderstand the causal relationship, it is precisely because the Central Plains Dynasty has never occupied Fusang, so we choose to wash away all the Fusang people."

"After all, these barbarians who grew up in many calamities and hardships are naturally cunning and cruel, lawless, and the Fusang government is even more afraid of the weak and afraid of the hard, always attacking and harassing when the Central Plains is in decline, and being a vassal when it is strong, rather than trying to cover these white-eyed wolves with heat, it is better to kill them all."

"My estimate of the Fusang war situation is more optimistic than yours, our purpose is to purge the Fusang people, killing the Fusang people is only the best state, as long as we can ensure that there are no Fusang people on the coastal plain at present, we can send the people of Daming to develop on it."

"The Fusang people who fled to the mountains are just a group of losers, the Fusang mountains are not the Mobei grassland, the place is narrow, and they are isolated and helpless, at most they are at the same level of threat as the ancient Shanyue people."

Xiao Han smiled and said to Zhu Biao.

"Well, last question, we don't seem to have that many people to develop the whole of Fuso."

"Previously, we successively transferred people on a large scale to develop Lingnan and Uliangha, which has led to the distribution of the people in our Ming Dynasty being a little empty."

Zhu Biao reluctantly spoke.

"The population... It's a hard wound indeed. ”

"In this way, let's make up for it from Yue, Lancang, Ava, Tibet, Goryeo, and even Mengyuan."

"The Three Kingdoms of Tibet, Yue, Lancang, Ava, and Goryeo are all vassal states of our Ming Dynasty, and our Ming Dynasty can directly open up and allow their people to join the Ming Dynasty and settle in the place we designate, after all, our Ming people can also enter their territory at will, which does not need to make a two-way treaty alone."

"And the relatively developed production capacity of our Daming is almost a fatal temptation for them, after all, since the establishment of the granary and the industrial and commercial system, there has been almost no famine in our Daming in the past two years."

Xiao Han touched his chin and said to Zhu Biao.

"What about Meng Yuan, our current communication with Meng Yuan people is basically still relying on the mutual market controlled by our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao opened his mouth to ask.

"Meng Yuan's words, then we have to do something from the mutual market area, it's time to completely build the mutual market into the state capital, now several mutual markets are prosperous enough, and there are enough populations on both sides, this has a basis for implementation."

"Next, it is announced that the mutual city will be changed to the state capital, and the people of Mengyuan in the state capital will be appeased, and they will be able to live in these state capitals, and the rest of Mengyuan, once it is confirmed that there is no record of being a traitor, can also settle in these state capitals, and as long as they live for a certain number of years, they can become real Ming people, and they are allowed to join the caravan and do business in the Ming Dynasty."

Xiao Han said.

Daming's current household registration policy, in fact, is basically no different from Lao Zhu's policy in the original trajectory, except for more detailed statistics, the rest is to make special treatment for business registration.

As long as you register in Daming and confirm that you are a serious businessman, you can do business inside and outside Daming, and those with agricultural and industrial household registration must stay in the household registration, unless there are special circumstances, otherwise you can't run around.

Freedom sounds like a beautiful thing, but in the absence of strong enough law enforcement capabilities, freedom equals chaos.

Only with an iron-fisted centralized power and coercive policies can an empire operate in an orderly manner in this era.

Not to mention anything else, not to mention the development of Wuliangha and Lingnan, even the people of the Central Plains, once the Ming Dynasty let go of free movement, they will run to the south of the Yangtze River in groups.

The development of Jiangnan is as dazzling as the sun, and the siphon effect on the population can be said to be very obvious.

The relative freedom of businessmen has attracted many people to join the businessmen, which has made the business of Daming develop very rapidly.

"If we continue to implement this series of policies, how many people can we get?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"At the very least, we can get a few million, and it is enough to supplement the population loss of the development of Fuso."

"However, we Daming still have to step up efforts to urge the people to give birth, and efficiently assimilate the foreign population, otherwise this kind of thing will not be good, once our Daming has a mess later, it may be another chaos."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Oh?"

"How are we going to assimilate those foreigners?"

Zhu Biao asked curiously.

"Well, in the past three years, we have stepped up to promote the various imperial examination subjects of our Daming, and when we wait for the next autumn, our Daming will increase the number of places just like the last spring."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"But we don't have so many official positions for them, and there are too many idle people, I'm afraid it's easy to make trouble."

Zhu Biao said.

"Who said they were going to sit idle?"

"To be able to pass the Autumn Period, even if it is ranked later, it must be quite familiar with the Ming Dynasty script and a certain imperial examination bibliography, I am going to set up a cultural department under the Ministry of Rites and set up schools in various places, and send out those low-ranking people who have nowhere to go, as a teacher, with our Ming court to pay for free education for the people everywhere."

"Our Daming industry has now encountered an obvious bottleneck in its development, mainly to establish more production lines, and there are not enough capable workers for the post."

"This move can continue to accelerate the development of our Daming."

Xiao Han opened his mouth to explain.

"Will this lead to a decrease in the number of people who farm the land and the inability to keep up with food production?"

Zhu Biao said worriedly.

Although it also developed industry and commerce before, after all, the scale was limited, and in the final analysis, it was to recruit the original craftsmen and businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone played together.

But once all kinds of knowledge are taught on a large scale and for free, the meaning is different.

"No, it won't."

"On the contrary, most of the people are still willing to farm, and the people who can master some of the key techniques of Daming agriculture, coupled with the improved rice seeds of the Agricultural College, will only increase the grain output of our Daming, not less."

Xiao Han shook his head and said.

"Well, I understand the education, what is going on with the birth, there are actually not many children born to our Ming people, but the mortality rate is very high, do you have any way?"

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han.

"This... We have to discuss with Lao Wu, he, the dean of the medical school, is the key to solving this problem. ”

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
